A mod rewrite for articles similar to the forum mod rewrite seen here:

I have it on my boards, helps immensely.

Second, an articles "archive" per say. I currently have a template driven articles archive in place, but due to the lack of mod rewrite for article urls and category urls, google is not digging it. Seen it in there a couple times, but it keeps on going. Yet I have 5-30 Google Spiders in my forum archives at all times. Both are using the same stylesheet/CSS. So I am thinking it has to be the lack of proper mod rewrite.

You can see my current articles here:

You can see my attempt at an articles archive here:
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/article2.php

Even if someone can just make a good rewrite, a full "archive" system may not be necessary. I can make available my article2.php file and the templates using the stripped design/CSS, and it should be good to go for everyone.

Ive seen other article systems, some with archive like support or forum archive support, but I like this one, because it is seperate from the board system. As you can tell, Ive modified the listing pages to be bare bones, and want to keep it that way.

Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Why is mod_rewrite neccessary? Why can't you just do it like the vB3 standard archive system, where a php file poses as a directory and extracts and uses that path beyond it as the parameters? If you're concerned about having a directory with an extention, you can use a php file without an extention and use forcetype to make apache use it as a php file.
